Sound waves are 'collected' by the ear drum. This is a film stretched across the ear canal. Much like it's namesake, it responds to sound waves by vibrating. These vibrations are read as electrical signals by your nerves, and it is transmitted to brain as impulses.
The three sections are the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. There are links below to the images of the ear's anatomy.
the correct answer is : ear canal or you could just write canal if you are doing a sheet/ homework sheet called: 8LD(4) Ear diagram- then write ear canal, if not then choose between; ear canal and canal
The pinna acts as a funnel for sound directing important information toward the earcanal and eventually the eardrum. The pinna also filters sound assisting in the localization of sounds both horizontally and vertically.
The external feature of the ear that contains the helix and lobule is the pinna, also known as the auricle. The pinna is the visible part of the ear that collects sound waves and directs them into the ear canal.
The human ear can hear sounds up to a frequency of about 20,000 Hertz.
Outer ear
Outer ear
Outer ear
The fleshy part of the outer ear collects the sounds and pulls them in to the canal and closer to the ear drum where they bounce off and reflect the sound back to the part of the brain that tells you ears to hear.
The pinna of the ear collects sound waves. This is the part you see on the side of the head.
The region of the ear that funnels sounds is called the Pinna. The Pinna collects sounds and acts like a funnel.
The external pinna, also known as the auricle, is the visible part of the ear that directs sound waves into the ear canal. It plays a role in collecting and amplifying sound before it reaches the middle and inner ear.
The three sections are the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. There are links below to the images of the ear's anatomy.
The outer ear, specifically the pinna and ear canal, collects sound waves or vibrations from the atmosphere and directs them towards the middle ear.
We use our ears to hear sounds. The ear collects sound waves, which are then transmitted as electrical signals to the brain through the auditory nerve. The brain interprets these signals as sounds.
I think it is the ear drum but there may be more technical names for it.
We hear by molucles bumping into each other which creates sound waves from vibration, which then travels into our ears...its all complicated after that :P xx
